Floor Speeches
Johnson spoke on the floor 13 times on 10 session days in the 119th Congress.
- Senate, September 30, 2026, 482 wordsTaxpayer Assistance and Service Act
Reserving the right to object, I would like to make two points.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - Senate, August 4, 2026, 1,773 wordsAGOA Extension Act: Motion to Proceed: Continued
My fine State of Wisconsin has a gray wolf population problem, but that was not always the case. Back in the eighties and nineties, we had the opposite problem. We had an endangered wolf population, as probably most of the lower 48 States did. So back in 1978, under the Endangered Species Act, the gray wolf was listed as one of those endangered species.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - Senate, May 20, 2026, 811 wordsTerminating Restrictive Enforcement of Youth Settlements Law
Reserving the right to object, I am down here now for the third time with a smile on my face. This is humorous. It would be humorous if it weren't so tragic.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - Senate, May 12, 2026, 328 wordsUnanimous Consent Request: S. Res. 552 (Executive Calendar)
I was down here a couple weeks ago when the Senator from Rhode Island had a similar type of what he called a simple-truth resolution, but it is not that simple.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - Senate, April 29, 2026, 361 wordsUnanimous Consent Request: S. RES. 551
Reserving the right to object, I have got a smile on my face here. First of all, let me state that I am not a climate denier. I am just not a climate alarmist, like the Senators from Rhode Island and Massachusetts. So I am thinking of Chicken Little: ``The sky is falling.'' I am not sure how I am going to be able to sleep tonight.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - Senate, March 18, 2026, 766 wordsSafeguard American Voter Eligibility Act: Continued
I would just like to offer a few words of rebuttal for the Democratic leader.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - Senate, March 3, 2026, 1,048 wordsHousing for the 21st Century Act: Motion to Proceed
First of all, let's--since I have the opportunity: We all revere and respect those men and women who have served and sacrificed to defend our liberty. That is completely nonpartisan. We prove it day in and day out. We prove it by how much money we spend on veterans' benefits.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - Senate, November 7, 2025, 3,818 wordsContinuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026: Motion to Proceed
2 weeks ago, I came to the floor in support of a bill that we were going to vote on, a motion to proceed called the Shutdown Fairness Act. It is a pretty simple bill. The name pretty well describes exactly what it is. It is trying to be fair during these dysfunctional shutdowns.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - Senate, September 29, 2025, 20 wordsGovernment Funding (Executive Session)
We are behind schedule, so I ask unanimous consent to speak for up to 25 minutes before taking the vote.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - Senate, September 29, 2025, 2,986 wordsEliminate Shutdowns Act (Executive Session)
I will ask you, I ask anybody in the Chamber, anybody who will listen to me on C-SPAN: Aren't you getting sick and tired of these government shutdown showdowns--with the drama, the turmoil, partisan bickering, the holding American people and our economy hostage for demands for billions and billions of dollars and more spending that we can't afford?
